On Sunday we will travel back to my Blue Ridge mountain home and pay tribute to my ancestors in the southern tradition of laying flowers on their graves and then eating a really big meal. I'm actually very excited to be able to visit with my family and get a little time to stand in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

In my family it's traditional to pick flowers from the garden or if they aren't fairing so well pick wildflowers to make the bouquets. When we where visiting in June I got to go on a flower picking excursion with my Mom and my Aunt (involving a golf cart, a dirt road and possibly a pre-dinner cocktail) and then watch them work their magic. Here are some of the fruits if their labor.

I believe.....

William Morris once said "have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." It is my goal to bring purpose as well as something lovely to all of my projects. Welcome to the Functional Space
